There's also going to be a bit of overhead space used for whatever the Mac/Win equivalent of inodes are - basically the space needed to store the filenames and directory structure. Whether that was included in the total size or not depends on how it was computed (in *nix, the difference between using du and df), but with image files it's almost certainly only a tiny fraction of the actual file size.
